Ask professionals questions in person
SEND Roadshows
You can speak to professionals who work with Special Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at regular in person events called SEND roadshows.
You can come to a SEND Roadshow to:
- understand what to do if you think your child may need help
- speak directly to professionals about help available with learning, health and care
- find out about local support, such as parents groups
- meet other carers and parents
You can drop in without booking. There are additional workshops available, that you can book online.
